This is a brief article on how to make the most of your iPod Touch (2nd gen.)

Steps

1

Load up some music onto your iPod Touch. Obviously. Whatever you like for music, you should put it on your iPod.

2

Try putting some video onto it. Even if your iPod is only an 8 GB, you still can have some videos on it (unless you have it filled with other stuff). If you don't want to buy a $15 movie, or even a $2 TV Show, you can get free videos from iTunes, such as Video podcasts and most season premiers, or download YouTube videos with a downloader (real player works well) The free iWhoopie app in the App Store lets you download YouTube videos over WiFi and play them whenever you want!

3

Add some of your photos! Not everyone uses photos on their iPods, but it can be fun to look at all your photos when you are bored.

4

Experiment with the built-in apps. Why else would you buy an iPod Touch? In addition to the apps/widgets the iPod Touch comes with Safari Mobile, Calendar, Mail, Contacts, YouTube, Stocks, Maps, Weather, Clock, Calculator, and Notes.

5

Download some other apps. There are over 100,000 approved apps in the iTunes store (as of 11/24/09); many of them free. Some great free download-able apps include:

Tap Tap Revenge 2 (Rockband-like game)

Photoshop Mobile (Photo editing)

TextPlus (Free texting)

Facebook (social website)

Google Earth (globe with pan and zoom on satellite imagery and maps)

Lyric Wiki (finds the lyrics and displays them for the song currently playing on iPod)

Downloader Lite (Download up to 50 pictures, videos, or any file and view them on iPod or transfer them to computer)
